Nah. I don't think so. From analysis of the teasers, it seems as if its more of a 48ch concept opposed to the Heritage D's 144ch. I don't doubt that there will be some shared architecture and concepts as like a new generation/era of Music Tribe consoles, but a straight X/M rebadge thing, I don't think so... But . I could be wrong. We'll all find out in a few hours! Hopefully it'll be 12am 17th of November Local German time...

I still believe that Wing could be both physical faders/touch driven digital mixer with vst hosting and an advanced DAW controller + a VST host to offload your CPU.

I too am neither a Berhinger fan nor a hater. I think they are a modern-day Peavey type company that cater mostly to beginner musicians. Like Peavey, they do on occasion come out with something nice. That being said, I don't think Behringer has earned the reputation for asking $5000 USD for anything they make.

Amazing. I am guessing the premium fx racks, standard fx rack and 5 variable plugin slots are all independent of each other? You will have all the hands on control and fx to mix OTB if you want to. Notice they didn’t refer to it as a live console, “personal” mixing console. Price will probably be about $1500 max as entry and make more money on the additional modules and i/o boxes.

The 5 variable plug in slots seem to be for channel dynamics, and the slots are PER CHANNEL, so you can change the dynamics emulation on a per channel basis.

It’s a lovely looking desk that also records live and seems to have a jog wheel etc for DAW control and great internal fx (as has the X32) - it’s all going to be about the price, if they get it around a grand and the latency is low on the 48x48 usb audio they could be in every home/small studio....

Yes I think you are right. I was more concerned if the 5 slots would be depended on either of the two fx racks and from watching the video again it does not seem so as inserts fx was also mentioned and I think the inserts will be the racks fx. If this is accurate this would be really awesome.

Ok, so two of my guesses were right: a digital mixer plus a DAW controller, well, a huge one, working in Mackie Universal / HUI protocols. I don't get this USB 2.0 interfacing. Being so packed with i/o, no Thunderbolt, no Dante to PC? USB 2.0 with that kind of a beast? Can anybody explain it to me?

No external/vst plugins, no additional dsp for your PC. Ok, I was expecting much, but they made such hype around this Wing thing that I feel a little bit disappointed. When you tease people with amazingness for such a long time, watch out, cuz yea, you can actually disappoint them.

I'm exactly in the market for something like this.
My hope and guess is Behringer will price it around € 1900.

For it to be jawdroppingly cheap (that is what Behringer does, it is part of their business strategy) it has to be below 2k I recon, and it will be above the price range of the X32's, so somewhere between € 1650 and € 1999 ??
